Hello I have my first consult on april the 5th then they said my surgery should be the week of may 7th. to allow for testing.

I have been waiting 4 years and now I have 1 week left!! my surgery is April 2nd and today is the last of testing for me! I have an EKG and pulmonary function test with blood gas's all goes well I will be on my way sat to Chicago to start my journey to a life of health.

One month one week out down 31 pounds. doing fine.

I called the insurance company today and they tell that there is no record of my pcp sending the predetermination letter. This is not what I wanted to hear but that's life

Hi, I had my surgery on Jan. 20, 2006 at Barnes Jewish hospital with Dr. Eagon. I've lost 105 lbs. I live in Belleville, IL I feel wonderful it's the best thing I ever done for myself! Good luck on your journey. If you have any questions I'd be happy to help if I can. My experience has been complication free (knock on wood). Hugs, Anna
